Hey there!

I'm Odochi, a 20-something who prefers the smell of fresh ink and the crinkle of the newspaper between her fingers while she snaps her vegan dinner from Champs.

After the 2016 election I was devastated, but not surprised that my country would allow anyone so vile and with a blatant disregard for the unalienable rights America prides it's on; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Everywhere people were asking, "How did this happen to America, the greatest country in the world?" I can tell you in one simple world, ignorance.Somee say ignorance is bliss, but in reality it's far more dangerous, even deadly than we realize. Ignorance makes a cop to shoot an unarmed Black teenager leaving a party. Ignorance is the reason that Trans women are four times more homicide victim to be victims of a homicide than other women. Ignorance is why healthcare is a privilege, not a right, in this country. And ignorance is why the men writing the American Constitution wrote The 3/5ths Compromise. Although not explicitly written, it perpetuated the idea that black people weren't fully human and entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I created The Five-Fifths Podcast because because we've hit a crucial crossroads in our society. Either we face racism, sexism, xenophobia, and other forms of bigotry head on and say, “No more.” Or continue burying our heads in the sand because we want to avoid uncomfortable conversations. None of us win, when one person in our global community suffers.
